Dr. Dongpin Hu (Peter) is poised to become the next leader in transforming foreign language education. He received his PhD in Educational Technology from the University of Hong Kong, TESOL from Arizona State University, MEd in Educational Studies from the Education University of Hong Kong, and BSc in Computer Science (Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence pathway) from the University of London. Dr Hu's research interests are technology-enhanced language learning, content and language integrated learning (CLIL), and AI in Education.

His interdisciplinary research in technology-enhanced language learning involves educational technology and applied linguistics, focusing on redesigning English language learning environments and approaches to support complex and authentic learning scenarios. To realize this vision, he has been exploring two vital aspects: 1) innovating traditional technologies and learning approaches in English as a foreign language (EFL) and CLIL; and 2) examining the cognitive and affective effects of emerging technologies (e.g., AI, XR) in EFL and CLIL.
